Chapter 228 Yongning Du Zhengming Extra 2
"Didn't you propose marriage to the Xie family back then? The Prince still holds that against you."
If you don't get married, he'll assume you're still thinking about his princess.
so……"
Huan Zian was interrupted by Du Zhengming before he could finish speaking.
How did you know about this?
“Oh, it was Prince Pei of the Xing State Mansion who told me.”
Huan Zian betrayed Pei Yanchi with a clear conscience.
Huan Zian's father was a student of the Pei family patriarch and a senior apprentice of the Duke of Xing.
When Pei Yanchi was young, he was raised by his grandfather. Huan Zian's father often took him to visit the old man.
Therefore, the two were quite close.
Interrupted, Huan Zi'an waved his hand irritably at Du Zhengming and said:
"Hey, we're talking about serious matters, don't interrupt me."
Go find the Princess Consort and tell her you want to attend Princess Yongning's selection banquet.
The prince will definitely know about this, and he'll certainly get you an invitation to prevent you from seeing his princess.
"What if he doesn't do it for me?" Du Zhengming continued to ask.
"Are you stupid? Keep going to find the Princess Consort."
"oh oh."
Du Zhengming suddenly had a brain.
Indeed, the prince cherishes his queen the most.
Huan Zi'an reached out and pushed him: "Oh what? Oh?"
"The seventh day of the lunar new year is in three days, why aren't you going yet?"
Du Zhengming got up and walked outside, but when he reached the door, he turned back to look at Huan Zi'an and said:
Should I change my clothes first?
Huan Zian burst into laughter: "This child is teachable."
Who said you were a blockhead? Isn't it quite clear?
...
In the afternoon, Pei Yanchi, carrying His Majesty's decree, made arrangements for Shen Pinting and Huaiqing.
The Shen family was completely destroyed because of the eldest prince, and Shen Pinting's aunt was also imprisoned.
However, thanks to Shen Pinting, he was always well taken care of.
Today, Pei Yan went over and released the person, personally handing her over to Shen Pinting. The mother and daughter then left together.
Huaiqing was reunited with her family and was freed from her lowly status.
Pei Yanchi personally handed him the documents for the good citizen.
After settling the two of them in, he remembered that he hadn't yet delivered the things he bought for the twins last time.
He went home and took his things to the Prince's Mansion.
Who knew that I would run into Du Zhengming at the door.
"Du Shaoqing, is there something you need here?" Pei Yanchi asked in surprise.
"Greetings, Prince Pei. I'm here to see the Princess Consort."
Pei Yanchi was shocked when he heard this.
Holy crap!
Cousin Ling, come back quickly, your house is about to be robbed.
He quickly replied, "Oh, I'm here to deliver things to the children, hehe... together, together."
As he spoke, he pretended to slap his forehead and said:
"Oh dear, I forgot to bring one of the things I packed for the two children. I'll go get it."
After saying this, he headed towards his horse and quickly whispered instructions to the servant beside him:
"Go quickly and invite the Prince back. Tell him that Du Shaoqing came to see the Princess while he was away."
The servant nodded and turned to leave.
Pei Yanchi turned his head and saw that Du Zhengming had already gone inside, so he quickly followed him.
Before Pei Yanchi and Du Zhengming arrived, they both knew that Xiao Ling was not at home.
Du Zhengming deliberately chose this time to come because he couldn't see Xie Yunyu at all when Xiao Ling was at home.
Pei Yanchi came on a whim, intending to leave after delivering the items.
At this moment, he had no choice but to sit down and wait for Xiao Ling to return.
He had to stay and watch over Du Zhengming, guarding the house for his cousin.
Xiao Ling was busy in the East Palace when he suddenly saw a young eunuch come over and whisper a few words in his ear.
Xiao Ling looked at the young eunuch with a strange expression and asked:
Are you telling the truth?
"Your Highness, the person who came is Prince Pei's servant. He has his waist token, so he should be the right person."
Xiao Ling's face darkened upon hearing this, and he looked up at the Crown Prince and said:
"Your Highness, I have some matters to attend to at home, so I need to go back first."
The crown prince watched in surprise as he hurriedly left, then waved to the young eunuch.
The young eunuch relayed Pei Yanchi's words, and the Crown Prince laughed upon hearing them.
This is going to get our base raided!
But then I thought about Yongning's search for a son-in-law, and I inexplicably felt that Du Zhengming was here for the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet the day after tomorrow.
When Xiao Ling returned to the mansion, Pei Yanchi and Du Zhengming were chatting, while Xie Yunyu sat beside them, drinking tea.
Xiao Ling was filled with rage, and the moment he saw Du Zhengming, the anger in his eyes seemed to solidify into a tangible form.
Seeing this, Xie Yunyu quickly got up and pulled Xiao Ling back.
Xiao Ling looked at Xie Yunyu in front of him and softened his imposing manner.
Pei Yanchi quickly got up and hurried to Xiao Ling's side.
"Brother, you're back. I've been waiting for you."
Xiao Ling looked at Pei Yanchi and hummed in agreement.
When Xie Yunyu saw that he had returned, she went back to the inner courtyard.
Xiao Ling, with a gloomy face, sat down at the head of the table in the flower hall and looked at Du Zhengming, saying:
"Tell me, what is the meaning of your visit to my princess while I'm not home?"
Du Zhengming put down his teacup and calmly replied:
"I want an invitation to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet at the Palace Museum the day after tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling became even angrier:
"You want to go see the Empress, why are you looking for my Princess?"
Du Zhengming looked up at Xiao Ling and said seriously:
"I'm asking you for it now."
Xiao Ling laughed in exasperation: "You think you can just ask me for something and expect me to give it to you? Who do you think you are?"
Du Zhengming wasn't angry; he remained calm and composed as he said:
“I am nobody. It doesn’t matter if you don’t give it to me. I will come to visit the Princess Consort again tomorrow.”
Xiao Ling instantly sprang up from his chair:
"Du Zhengming, have I been too kind to you?"
With that, he stormed off angrily toward Du Zhengming.
Pei Yanchi was startled and quickly got up to stop Xiao Ling.
"Brother, brother, Du Shaoqing is a guest, a guest, we can't lay a hand on a guest."
Xiao Ling was pulled and hugged by Pei Yanchi, and then pulled back to sit down.
Pei Yanchi understood at this point, and then spoke to Du Zhengming:
"You're quite an interesting person. I've heard about Yongning's feelings for you for a long time."
But you haven't had any reaction for the past three months, so why are you suddenly thinking of going to the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet?
Xiao Ling snorted coldly: "Some people are just asking for trouble. They don't appreciate the kindness others show them."
They were about to abandon him, but he kept coming back to them.
What a despicable scoundrel.
Pei Yanchi laughed when he heard Xiao Ling's evaluation.
"Du Shaoqing, so that's what kind of person he is?"
Despite the two men's combined sarcasm, Du Zhengming remained calm.
"I need an invitation to the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet on the seventh day of the lunar new year. You have to get it for me."
"No, I won't give it to you." Xiao Ling refused directly.
Upon hearing this, Du Zhengming stood up, straightened his clothes, and said to the maid beside him:
"Please tell your Princess Consort that I will visit her again tomorrow."
Xiao Ling could no longer hold back and stood up to kick him:
"Du Zhengming, are you fucking never going to stop?
"If you're so capable, go to the palace and ask His Majesty for an invitation. What are you doing here causing trouble in my house?"
Du Zhengming reacted quickly and dodged the kick.
Then, looking at Xiao Ling, he said, "I have received an invitation and met Princess Yongning. Naturally, I will not come to your house again."
You decide what to do.
After saying that, Du Zhengming walked away leisurely.
Xiao Ling was left in her own flower hall, cursing him incessantly at his retreating figure.
